Question

A 1.0 kg rock is thrown straight upward with an initial speed of 8.0 m/s. What is its speed

Answer 1

Answer:5.7m/s

Explanation:

Mass=1kg

Initial velocity=u=8m/s

height=h=1.6m

Final velocity =v

Acceleration due to gravity=g=9.8m/s^2

v^2=u^2-2xgxh

v^2=8^2-2x9.8x1.6

v^2=8x8-2x9.8x1.6

v^2=64-31.36

v^2=32.64

Take the square root of both sides

√(v^2)=√(32.64)

v=5.7

Speed at the height of 1.6m is 5.7m/s
